Our blog, The Happy Tummy List, is our way of sharing our fun food adventures around the DMV with you. The basic premise is that we go to a new restaurant (or two) each month and pretend to be food critics. We'll also share some of our favorite recipes with you along the way. Take a look---we hope you find a new restaurant or recipe to enjoy with your family and friends! Find us on Instagram @thehappytummylist.
